Single Mothers - Patricide / Feel Shame (dir. Sean McLeod)
“The video for Patricide / Feel Shame follows a particularly devious cult leader as he guides his flock through their final sacrament. Furthermore, it explores the idea of feeling lost or directionless, and how the need for belonging and validation can lead to potentially dangerous groupthink. I have always been fascinated by cults; specifically how cult leaders can create a power dynamic so one-sided they can lead people to their own deaths, willingly. Conceptually, the video explores the abuse of trust and power that are emblematic of different leaders associated with various institutions. In Patricide / Feel Shame, Patricide represents the cult leader’s outsider views - which he presents to his flock - while Feel Shame represents his inner thoughts, serving as the mantra that powers his ruthlessness.”
LYRICS
We're like slow motion shooting stars Mid-swell and dying at the local bar Getting pretty and gritty In those backyards and parked cars Now she's got this look in her eye Like she's surprised, but she don't know why
She said "I only believe in patricide" Daddy's little girl gone wild Round up and call for the sacrifice Wednesday night happy hour kind of riot And mornings at the farmers' market
I need god about as much as she needs me Something like an ongoing rivalry I need god about as much as she needs me Something like cutting down your own family tree
I know things have been crazy lately Come on, don't make me beg for it, baby I know you're worried about your mom and dad But we both know you're better than that We saw a lot of things, completely unnecessarily Promises being made with no real intentions to keep
I need god about as much as she needs me Something like an ongoing rivalry I need god about as much as she needs me Something like cutting down your own family tree
We were chasing a disaster Driving around town in your Saturn Bad behavioural patterns Like the next day didn't matter Dove head first into the sequel The one where they brought back Jesus The one that got us all believing The one where they left him bleed
Portland Oregon Trashy Disco-Rock band Dad works Hard is rippin' tits with their hit video "White Shoes!"
